Helping Businesses Reduce Their Software  Spend

Most Businesses and Organisations are paying too much for enterprise software from the likes of Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, IBM, Adobe, VMware, Google and Salesforce

💸 Stop Overpaying for Enterprise Software

The ‘Big 8’ enterprise software vendors soak up the majority of IT budgets: Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, Salesforce, IBM, Adobe, VMware, Google.

⚠️ Most Enterprise Software Deals Can Be Improved

Procurement teams are under pressure to cut costs, but enterprise software companies still hold all the cards. Their quotes look “final”. Their discounts seem “reasonable”. But our data proves otherwise.

Enterprise software vendors are sophisticated negotiators. Their account teams are trained, incentivised and equipped with data you don't have access to. Discount structures are designed to look generous while protecting margin. Renewal deadlines are engineered to limit your options.

We've reviewed hundreds of contracts from Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, Salesforce, IBM and others. The gap between what most organisations pay and what they could pay is rarely small. We typically find 10%+ in recoverable value — even after internal procurement teams have already negotiated.Procurement teams are under pressure to cut costs, but enterprise software companies still hold all the cards.

🚀 How We Help Procurement Teams

✓ Identify Pricing Inefficiencies
We benchmark the software proposals and contract renewals you receive from your software suppliers against real-world contract data and market norms — exposing overpriced line items and missing discounts.

✓ Strengthen Your Negotiation Position
We provide the language, strategies, and intel to push back on suppliers.  We give you the specific language, leverage points and timing strategies that move vendors off their position. We know what they'll concede, and what they're trained to protect so you never have to settle for what’s on the table.

✓ Reduce Spend, Fast
Whether you're mid-negotiation or just days from renewal, we help you secure better terms and real savings. We work at your pace — whether that's a full pre-renewal strategy or a same-week review of a contract you're about to sign.
